# Description
-The backend of Ibis is written in Rust [1.3] and built on PostgreSQL [1.3]. The frontend of Ibis is written in Rust with WebAssembly [1.3]. Ibis is federated using the [ActivityPub](https://open.ibis.wiki/article/ActivityPub_Protocol) protocol [1.5][1.6][4.2].

> Ibis is still in a very early stage, but it has the potential to completely change the way online encyclopedias work. Instead of individual, centralized websites there will be an interconnected network of encyclopedias.

> There have also been numerous attempts to create new, centralized Wikipedia alternatives but all of them failed to gain critical mass. The fact is that we can’t rely on any single website to hold the whole world’s knowledge, because it can be corrupted sooner or later. The only solution is a distributed architecture, with many smaller websites connecting with each other and sharing information. This is where ActivityPub comes in, the protocol used by Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube and many other federated social media projects.
